Dinner 911 is about delicious emergency meals when you need to eat STAT. In other words, great food that comes together like magic. If you have “Peanut Sauce: Quick and Easy” in your ‘fridge, this, stir fry comes together in minutes. See the Notes for other inspiration.If you don’t have peanut sauce in the fridge already, here’s the recipe. It comes together easily in 5 minutes. I almost always make a double batch so I have it on hand.
2green onions, sliced thinly, white and green parts
6sprigscilantro
2grape tomatoes, sliced in ½
2TBSPpeanuts, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the noodles: put the ready-to-eat yakisoba noodles in a bowl of very hot water. They are already cook, but you do want to heat them up.
In a large flat skillet or wok: heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the mushrooms until they loose most of their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the remaining vegetable and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are vibrant in color and they have begun to wilt.
When the vegetables are warm, add the peanut sauce and toss to distribute.
To serve: drain the noodles and divide between two plates. Top the noodles with the peanut sauce / vegetable mixture.
Garnish: sprinkle some green onion over the top. Add three sprigs of cilantro to each plate. Add 2 cherry tomatoes (sliced in half) and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the dish. Add a slice of lime to the side of the plate.
